Tunenami & Amarok

[William Shostak]

Amarok Development Squad,

We own an up and coming music portal, yes another one. The real  
difference between ours and others is; all music is released thru  
Creative Commons so the music can be downloaded and shared freely;  
ability to find music you like easier (all the features are not up  
yet but will be over the next couple months); and most importantly  
many methods for artist to make money with out selling music to  
listeners. There are a couple other sites with all these features but  
we think our methods and our team is unique that if artist use our  
site along with the others the have a better chance of making a  
living making music. This is just so you know a little about us we  
can of course embellish more, but that is not the point at the moment.

We where just considering developing a music player and while doing  
research to structure the architecture we ran into Amarok.

You guys have a wonderful thing going on here and we though why make  
another but see how we can develop the features we need in Amarok to  
coincide with your own development. This way we can help each other  
while helping ourselves, and increase the rate of development for  
Amarok.

We have a bunch of features in mind but they can all be dealt with  
over time, I mean what you have now is incredible - by far the most  
impressive music player out their. Our biggest concern is binaries  
for OSX and Windows, and a personal feature is to allow Amarok users  
access to our library to down load the music from our site right thru  
Amarok (currently 1500 songs and growing).

This letter is to open dialog to make sure your are ok with our  
development on your platform and to make sure our development and  
yours does not overlap and our development can be helpful to Amarok.

Warm regards,

William Shostak
